279: Li Sisi's confusion!

“Boom! Boom!”

Wherever Li Sisi looked, explosions roared continuously, and the immense commotion caused the surroundings to tremble.

At this moment, the Evil Soul was like a madman, shouting and battling an unseen enemy, his attacks growing fiercer each time, as if he wished to tear that enemy to shreds!

The prolonged battle had weakened the Evil Soul’s power, and now he was panting, his attack frequency significantly reduced.

She quietly watched him flail about, but her heart was already greatly shaken.

“Impossible!”

“You can’t be invincible!”

The Evil Soul roared, continuing to attack the illusory Tiger King, but each time he was easily suppressed by the Tiger King, unable to harm him in the slightest.

After several such attempts, the Evil Soul suddenly seemed to understand something, “Unless you’ve reached that stage, you couldn’t possibly ignore my attacks!”

“Could it be… this is an illusion?”

The Evil Soul had witnessed many techniques, and he had clearly been evenly matched with the junior tiger demon, only having to flee because a Shu Mountain Sword Immortal interfered. How could the junior tiger demon suddenly become so formidable?

Therefore, when this terrifying thought arose, a chill ran through the Evil Soul’s heart, “Damn it! When did it lay down such a trap? To think This Lord would fall for it unknowingly!”

And as he had this thought, the Tiger King right in front of him remained unchanged, still as before, disdainful of his attacks.

Little did he know, the power of the Nightmare Immortal Art was that once unleashed, even if the victim knew it was an illusion, some of the scenes within it would still persist.

And all of this was under Xia Fan’s control.

After the Evil Soul realized that everything before him was an illusion, he once again cast aside the Xia Fan in front of him and turned to flee.

“Hmph!”

“Since it’s an illusion, there must be a weak point within it. This Lord refuses to believe I can’t find a way out!”

Thinking this, the Evil Soul’s speed grew faster and faster, but suddenly, a gleaming white Diamond Cutter came crashing down on his head.

Bang!

“Ah…”

“Pain, too painful!”

The Evil Soul immediately let out continuous wails of agony, his cries horrifying, and under this strike, even his form became much more ethereal.

This white Diamond Cutter was, of course, the Diamond Cutter.

Under Xia Fan’s control, the Diamond Cutter moved with extreme agility, almost always striking the Evil Soul with lightning speed.

In the sky, streaks of white light flickered, and each time they struck the Evil Soul, they caused him to shriek incessantly.

The latter had actually considered fighting back, but in his current state, let alone retaliating, he couldn’t even dodge the attacks.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

As the Diamond Cutter displayed its might, the Evil Soul screamed repeatedly, and the aura around him grew increasingly weak.

Finally, even though Li Sisi just watched from the side, doing nothing, Xia Fan had already beaten the Evil Soul to a pulp. At this moment, he was sometimes sprawled on the ground, sometimes turning into a black mist, unable to move.

“Finally resolved.”

Seeing this, Xia Fan didn’t even think, directly unleashing the Great Devouring Realm to absorb this Evil Soul into it.

In an instant, waves of immense power continuously flowed back to him.

The familiar sensation filled Xia Fan with satisfaction. He was now engrossed in digesting the power, his tiger eyes slightly narrowed, a sight that was hard to forget.

The Evil Soul was now too weak to even beg for mercy, so it was quickly devoured.

“This is an Evil Soul from ancient times.”

Xia Fan felt the energy feedback from the Great Devouring Realm and couldn’t help but click his tongue, “For me now, it’s a great tonic. This trip was not in vain!”

“In the past, the Evil Soul made me flee in terror, but today I have finally washed away that former disgrace and returned triumphantly.”

As time passed, Xia Fan completely devoured and absorbed the Evil Soul, immediately feeling his strength improve significantly. “Just one Evil Soul has given me faint signs of entering the late seventh stage. It seems that relics from ancient times are indeed more valuable than those of the present age.”

“If I can devour more such beings in the future, that would be wonderful.”

As he pondered this, Li Sisi beside him couldn’t help but frown, especially at the process of devouring the Evil Soul, which left her with complex feelings.

“He… he just devoured a soul like that?”

“Doesn’t he realize that doing so will bring him considerable trouble?”

Li Sisi knew that even ancient evil demons rarely directly devoured souls like this, and those who could devour souls were all utterly wicked beings!

In the end, the minds of such evil demons would be affected by countless chaotic emotions, causing their sanity to become extremely muddled, almost like falling into depravity.

Ultimately, these soul-devouring evil demons would become like Qiongqi, symbols of evil and slaughter, with no trace of good intentions in their hearts.

As Li Sisi mused, she couldn’t help but look at Xia Fan in front of her, feeling somewhat puzzled, “But this Tiger King clearly devoured a soul, and it seems he’s done many such things before, yet he shows no such signs.”

“On the contrary, what he’s doing now is still very orderly, and he never kills the innocent indiscriminately.”

Thinking of this, Li Sisi suddenly had an epiphany, “Could it be that the Tiger King has a way to discard the dark power within these souls, which is why he dares to do this?”

“Yes, if he can discard the chaotic emotions and memories within those souls, he really can do this without any qualms.”

“Perhaps… this is the reason for his rapid increase in strength?”

Li Sisi felt that it must be so, to have created the Tiger King as he was now.

But what she didn’t know was that Xia Fan had also been affected by the things she knew, clearly feeling such a presence, but he had the Magic Cat by his side.

The latter’s purification ability was among the best in this world, and furthermore, the Magic Cat had once devoured a sarira, making its abilities even more formidable.

It was with the assistance of the Magic Cat as his partner that Xia Fan dared to devour recklessly, growing stronger step by step.

After pondering, Li Sisi, as if by some strange impulse, asked, “Tiger King, where do you plan to go next?”

After speaking, even she showed a hint of surprise, but the words were already out, and she had no way to retract them. Besides, she was also very curious about what Xia Fan intended to do.

“Of course, to find those ancient beings!”

Xia Fan did not hide this matter; instead, he answered with a chuckle.

At present, with his strength, he was absolutely invincible in this later era. Only by fighting with those ancient beings might he be able to further improve his strength.
